The delivery of a ship or rig under a construction contract can often be delayed well beyond the original contractual delivery date. The reasons for this are of course many and varied, and the delay may be caused by factors for which the builder or the buyer (or, indeed, neither party) are responsible. In these circumstances, the construction contract will need to provide for the situations in which the delivery date is to be extended, whether (and if so when) the buyer can claim liquidated damages in respect of the delay, and whether he can ultimately cancel the contract completely. It will also need to deal with the builder's remedies where the delay is caused by the buyer, and in what circumstances he can claim additional remuneration as a result.
